How does the Running Shoe Matrix work?
The matrix classifies road and trail running shoes tested by Thich Chay Bo Lab into a 2-dimensional grid: rows represent 5 budget tiers and columns represent 6 distinct training purposes (Daily Trainer, Super Trainer, Racing Shoes, Recovery / Max Cushion, Tempo & Speed, and Trail Running). You can filter by brand or sort by weight and lab rating.
What is the key difference between Daily Trainer and Super Trainer?
A Daily Trainer is an everyday workhorse focused on durability and consistent comfort without aggressive carbon plates. A Super Trainer combines high-rebound superfoams (PEBA/nitrogen-infused) with carbon or composite plates while maintaining thick, protective stack heights for high-mileage training without race-day fragility.
How do I choose the right cell for my goals?
Match your budget row with your training purpose column. If you are starting out or building aerobic base mileage, check the Daily Trainer or Recovery column. If aiming for a marathon PR or fast intervals, explore the Super Trainer and Racing columns.
